Heer Generalleutnant Karl Kettembeil

[MJC]

I have been looking for the awards and decorations for Generalleutnant Karl Kettembeil, but without success. If anyone can assist, for whatever period/era the data is available, I would be appreciative. I have an otherwise full biographic file. Thanks.

Born: 27 Apr 1890

Died: 12 Apr 1976

Other than both 1914 Iron Crosses and the HOH3X, no clue.

He must have had some award from the Ottoman Empire

Paul, I believe his service would have almost guaranteed him such an award, no?

Yup, probably multiples, but since he wasn't Reichsheer and I have NEVER seen a good photo of him-- only one with sword drawn in the middle of a Luftwaffe parade... no clue which ones.

Thanks very much for your insights. I have only seen that one photo as well.

Cheers :cheers:
